Cruises.....arent They A Bust?

[fletch63]

I am sort of new to the skyline scene

2 years owner and 6 months or so on SAU forum

I would love nothing more than to go for a cruise with

a whole bunch of other skylines/imports...except maybe

sex with a whole bunch of Brazilian dancers.

But all I picture in my head is Sergeant Wanker

rubbing his hands together as he sees/hears a dozen BOVs

scream by.

As I have never been hassled b4 I don't want a defect

just to get my rocks off on a cruise

You know just because youre paranoid

doesn't mean theyre not after you!!!!

[Ehgriez]

Well thats the risk you take if your gonna do something stupid.

On the few cruises i've been on, I've never been pulled over.

Even if I was theres nothing actually illegal with my car.

you must be in the minority

I reckon 90% imports would/could be defected

I don't mean driving silly either

just the fact theres numbers

[Mayuri Krab]

Well if a cop wants to defect you, he WILL find a way to sticker you.

When they can sticker you for such little sh*t like not having window washer fluid, 90% of all cars on the road should be worried

Cruises are fun

Chances there is a more of a bunky silvia ( like mine ) they would like to pull over more than your car

Dont stress!!!

Its so much fun, and all the people are really awsome! Ive met some of the most nicest people on cruises!

Oh and dont drive like a spoon and your safe ( thumbs up )

[R32 Driver]

i think you've been watching to much ignition dvd or some shit

most of the time they wont come out and say HEY IM GONNA DEFECT EVERYONE HERE

only when there abused

bulk fun to be had and plenty of nice people!

No fair Bubba!!!!

Cruises aren't as big a bust as Karl's mums chesty bust

[R DIRTY 3]

Public cruises can be an issue due to a minority of hero's showing how cool they are by spinning the wheels at every take off etc....or prooving how tough they are by mouthing off at the police who attend to see whats going on.

We do SAUWA members only cruises....good bunch of guys all driving Skylines (with the odd Stagea, silvia and 350z), no hero's and no problems from the boys in blue.

In fact on a members cruise if that was to happen, the person involved would be told to leave immediately!

It's definitely not as fun as cruising in the 32 though.. I miss my baby

This sounds like the option I should take

Maybe I'll have to join

cruises are dead to me. I'd estimate 10k to clear a defect.

The last cruise i went on was the ignition DVD Hillary's cruise and we all know how that turned out. Was lucky not to be defected for my 19's.

Now my GTR has a stroker motor, T04Z, 550hp, full cage, etc etc etc I'd have no hope.

Hopefully this whole hoon bullshit will blow over and i'll be able to drive my car again without having to pull into a shopping centre and hide every time i see a cop car behind me.

we ll as everyone knows a full cage is not street legal so your car shouldn't even be on the road so if you get picked up it's your own fault

and as for 19's i don't think so

law been in for 3 years 1.5 RULE R32 GTR CAN GO TO 20X10 LEGAL SIZE RIMS

[Ehgriez]

Gazza im 99% sure thats incorrect.

You cant increase front/rear track by a certain amount and generally cant increase the width past the widest available on the highest model of the car.

i.e. 8 inch wide on the GT-R

Rolling Diameter cant by increased by more than 2 inches.

Its something like this.

You cant increase the track at all on a FWD car.

I'll look into it.

[bubba]

Aslong as you get the correct offset you should be able to go 10" wide rims, aslong as you don't change the track by 1" each side.

[Ehgriez]

Won't be rolling on 20's though.

Not legally at any rate.

You'd also be causing a large taste violation at the same time.

[mello vii]

if you dont act like a dick you will have no hassle and if you want to do skids etc there is a time and a place yeah there is the ocaasional police car rolling up but if you are doing nothing wrong thety either just leave or tell you to move on dont run dont be a dick and all is good see you out there

[Public Enemy]

well there's the thing, you need roll cage for drags if you want to run 10's (not that i've done this yet) but it's illegal for the road. Tell me how that helps to keep drag racing at the strip?

Anyway i know it's illegal and if i get busted will cop it on the chin, i just won't be pushing my luck by going on big cruises.

As for the wheels they are 19 x 10.5. But i do have 3 sets of wheels for it anyway.

There's a few other defects that are just as obvious. If only the R32 GTR was made pre 1986. It's a little absurd that 3 years can make so much difference to the mods your are allowed to have.
